Three Fortresses~by Jeremy J Croucher

Part 19 of 20 in ‘The Aegean Shores’ series

 

Three Fortresses

Corfu and three fortresses
to complete our holiday
The sea one and the land one
in the old town on the bay
And then through cobbled streets
to the new one on the wall
(The amount of steps I’ve climbed today
I’d rather not recall)
But the climbs were really worth it
as, rewarded with a view
Such as to take your breath away
‘neath Aegean skies of blue
